Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance

This ice system requires three types of maintenance:
• Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine's water system and sensors.
• Sanitize the ice machine's water system and the ice storage bin or dispenser.
• Clean condenser
It is the User's responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without
human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their
water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral build up that forms during
the ice making process.
The ice machine's water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year. Sanitize the
ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine is cleaned and
sanitized.
Preparing to Clean:
1. Remove the front panel.
2. Remove the evaporator cover.
